✨𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝘀 ✨ Nell’ultimo Living Lab abbiamo esplorato la tematica del SOUVENIR, che da oggetto spesso standardizzato e usa e getta può diventare un dispositivo narrativo e sostenibile capace di raccontare il territorio e sostenere gli artigiani. Grazie ad un 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗱𝗶 𝗖𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 del prodotto guidato da esperti del settore siamo arrivata a prototipare oltre 5 souvenir sostenibili, fra questi abbiamo scelto di realizzare un ventaglio con materiali di riuso.

Ri-pensare Il Souvenir - 2nd GreenCCIrcle Local Living Lab On 18 March, we explored the topic of innovative and sustainable design for a new generation of souvenirs. 🏹 Our goal was to transform the souvenir from a standardized, disposable object into a narrative and sustainable device, capable of telling the story of the territory, its people, and the profound essence of the festival. In this perspective, the project moved toward a "zero gadget" objective - not by eliminating the object itself, but by moving beyond the logic of the "gadget for gadget's sake" and replacing it with practices of reuse, local craftsmanship, and co-creation. What did we achieve together? 🔖Introduction on the topic by Prof @fpanozzo , @aiku_arte_impresa_cultura 🎨 We examined the case study of ‘abitare circolare school” – which addresses the themes of the circular economy and eco-design through the involvement of local communities by @esperimenti_architettonici . 🖼️ We co-designed an Iconographic Atlas to guide the prototyping of sustainable and meaningful souvenirs, and we utilized the Creative Business Canvas to help participants visualize their projects within real-world scenarios. A huge thank you to all the participants for their brilliant case studies and for helping us rewrite the narrative of territorial identity. 🌿 [📸 Swipe through the carousel to see the highlights and our prototyping process!] @materahub @aiku_arte_impresa_cultura #GreenCCIrcle #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CoDesign #EcoDesign #MateraHub #Aiku #SustainableTourism #ZeroGadget

How can cities move sustainable consumption from niche initiatives to mainstream practice? This question was at the centre of the NiCE – From Niche to Centre final conference, held on 11–12 March 2026 at the German Environment Agency in Dessau-Roßlau. Cities, regions, networks, NGOs, and initiatives gathered to explore how urban centres can strengthen sustainable consumption structures. During the conference, GreenCCIrcle joined the Market of Opportunities to present key project outcomes to a new audience working on urban sustainability: • GreenCCIrcle Academy – building green skills for the Cultural and Creative Industries 🔗 Link in bio! • GreenCCIrcle HUB – practical tools and resources for sustainable practice 🔗 Link in bio! • GreenCCIrcle Alliances – fostering collaboration across sectors and regions 🔗 Link in bio! Beyond presentations, the team also participated in workshops on circular economy, repair practices, and climate communication, exchanging insights with stakeholders from across Europe. Events like NiCE highlight the growing role of cross-sector collaboration in accelerating the green transition. The key takeaway: sustainability transformation happens faster when cities, creative sectors, and policy actors learn from each other.

That’s why GreenCCIrcle was created. 💡 A European initiative empowering creatives, cultural organisations, educators and policymakers to turn sustainability into practical action.
